The thought that Lu Ke might have fallen in love with Feng Qilou plunged Fu Jihuai's heart into an ice cellar, and his whole body began to exude a freezing aura.
A tyrannical emotion spread from the bottom of his heart.
The woman before him was the only person he had ever truly loved in his life, yet she had fallen for another man.
A man who had even hurt her.
Fu Jihuai couldn't accept it, his cold eyes gradually tinged with a scarlet hue.
Yet Feng Qilou had no tact whatsoever.
As if oblivious to his intense killing intent, or perhaps deliberately trying to make Fu Jihuai suffer.
He actually dared to force Lu Ke into a prone position right in front of Fu Jihuai.
Then, he lifted her clothes.
His gaze fell on her bandaged waist, where medicine had seeped through the white bandages, staining them a different color.
It was impossible to tell exactly how bad the injury beneath was.
But wrapped up like this, it certainly couldn't be minor.
Feng Qilou's eyes instantly reddened, his gaze full of heartache.
How much pain must Yaya have been in back then? She had always been delicate and hated pain the most.
Yet because of the fight between Gu Yi and Fu Jihuai, she was hurt like this.
No, it was also because of him...
If not for him, Yaya wouldn't have been taken away by those two madmen in the first place.
Trembling, Feng Qilou reached out, wanting to peel back the gauze to see just how severe the wound underneath was.
But his hand hovered in mid-air, hesitating to touch it.
Feng Qilou's voice was filled with distress: "Yaya, does it hurt?"
Lu Ke bit her lip. It had indeed hurt a lot when the wound was pulled just now.
But after that initial wave, the pain had quickly subsided, and it didn't hurt as much anymore.
But looking at Feng Qilou, and then at Fu Jihuai.
Although Feng Qilou's attention was entirely on her, Fu Jihuai's expression left Lu Ke with no doubt that he would lunge over in the next second and beat Feng Qilou like a dog.
So she nodded without hesitation, her voice pitiful: "It hurts."
Fu Jihuai's thin lips pressed tightly together, his hands slowly clenching into fists.
Seeing Feng Qilou act like a madman wanting to lift her gauze just because of Lu Ke's "it hurts."
The veins on his forehead throbbed. Unable to endure it any longer, he stepped forward and, ignoring Lu Ke's pleading gaze, grabbed Feng Qilou by the collar.
Feng Qilou hated people grabbing his collar more than anything, especially when that person was Fu Jihuai.
The worry on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a fierce glare directed at Fu Jihuai.
Just as he opened his mouth to warn him to let go, Fu Jihuai didn't give him the chance to speak. With a forceful yank, he dragged the man right out the door.
The next second, the door slammed shut right in front of Lu Ke.
The figures of the two men disappeared from her sight.
Lu Ke blinked. Were they... going to solve this the way men do?
Lu Ke's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly called out in worry: "Brother, Brother Qilou, you guys, calm down a bit."
"Don't fight, please don't fight, talk it out nicely."
Even though she said that, Lu Ke felt there was an eighty percent chance they couldn't talk it out nicely.
Sure enough, hearing her voice from inside, the two of them acted as if they hadn't heard a thing.
Feng Qilou shook off Fu Jihuai and straightened his collar.
He looked coldly at the grim-faced man opposite him and sneered: "What? Jealous?"
"Jealous that I can win Yaya's heart, while you can only stand by as a brother and watch helplessly?"
"Fu Jihuai, I warned you long ago, stop pretending to be a big bad wolf... Ugh."
Before Feng Qilou could finish his sentence, Fu Jihuai landed a vicious punch on his face.
This punch held nothing back. Feng Qilou was knocked to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked up at Fu Jihuai, his gaze bone-chillingly cold.
"Madman." Spitting out the word, he abruptly stood up and swung his leg toward Fu Jihuai in a sweeping kick.
Both were heirs to financial conglomerates, and their training in all aspects had been extremely rigorous.
Furthermore, having frequently faced the threat of kidnapping during their childhoods, both had acquired impressive combat skills.
Once the fight broke out, it was a brutal, bare-knuckle brawl. Soon, both of them were bruised and battered, yet neither was willing to concede defeat.
In the room, listening to the commotion outside, Lu Ke closed her eyes.
She tried to hypnotize herself into thinking she couldn't hear it.
But the noise was simply too loud. One moment it was the sound of a shelf crashing down, the next it was the shattering of a vase.
It sounded like an incredibly fierce battle.
Lu Ke had no desire to recklessly rush out and get herself hurt again.
Last time, taking a hit for Gu Yi had been unavoidable, but she absolutely didn't want to drag herself into it this time.
If she accidentally caught a punch, she would never forgive herself.
But she couldn't just do nothing either; that wouldn't fit her persona at all.
So, Lu Ke desperately yelled from inside the room for them to stop fighting, while her body remained completely motionless on the bed.
She yelled for a long time, but they didn't stop outside, and her throat grew dry from shouting.
She drank some water and continued to yell, while simultaneously scrolling through her phone out of boredom.
She had no idea who actually liked this kind of two-men-fighting-over-one-woman drama.
If the two could get along harmoniously, that would be great, of course.
But like the two guys outside, didn't people find it terrifying?
They were simply violent maniacs.
If even one of them was extreme, she would definitely be the first to suffer.
The commotion outside stopped at some point, and the room door opened once again.
Lu Ke had kept her ears perked, paying close attention to the noise outside the whole time.
As soon as the sound stopped, she immediately put down her phone and rubbed her eyes until they were completely red.
She even propped up her waist and sat up, acting out a scene of struggling to get out of bed and crawl outside.
Therefore, as soon as Fu Jihuai opened the door, he was met with Lu Ke's red, teary eyes.
Perhaps her wound was hurting again; her face was a bit pale, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound.
She looked at Fu Jihuai, then glanced behind him.
Maybe he had lost the fight, or maybe Fu Jihuai had called in his men to kick Feng Qilou out.
In any case, the man was gone.
Noticing Lu Ke's gaze, Fu Jihuai's already grim expression darkened a bit more.
He stared at Lu Ke, stepping into the room step by step, then closed the door and locked it.
Seeing his actions, Lu Ke's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up inside her.
No, it couldn't be.
Fu Jihuai was her last safe harbor.
Could it be that he was so heavily provoked by Feng Qilou today that he decided to abandon his humanity, return to his bestial instincts, and do something to her?
Otherwise, why would he lock the door?
Lu Ke bit her lip tightly, looking at Fu Jihuai.
Fu Jihuai walked up to her and stopped, looking down at her from above.
There was not a trace of heartache for Lu Ke in his eyes, only coldness: "What? You care about him that much?"
A sense of crisis surged wildly, transforming into a blade hovering over her head.
It frantically reminded Lu Ke that the man in front of her was in a very bad mood right now.
She hurriedly shook her head, gently pulling on Fu Jihuai's sleeve, her eyes full of sincerity.
"Brother, compared to him, I'm much more worried about you."
Fu Jihuai didn't speak. He looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with scrutiny, as if trying to judge the truthfulness of her words.
Lu Ke lowered her eyelashes, turning the tables on him: "Brother, you said no one would come here, which is why I followed you back to this place."
"But Feng Qilou suddenly showed up. He was like this last time too, as soon as he appeared, he did that to me, to me..."
Lu Ke suddenly raised her head, tears already hanging in her eyes, on the verge of weeping.
Looking closely, there was also fear in the depths of her eyes.
"Brother, I'm scared, I'm so scared..." She began to cry.
